• Smart Bond Initiative - BCSD's Award-$3,697,360 (Phase 1-Upgraded the District's Network Infrastructure) (Phase 2-Safety & Security for All School Buildings)

We are grateful for Jamie’s dedication to the BCSD and his commitment to his fiduciary responsibilities. He has received a 100% approval rating for all of his budgets by wide margins.

The Board of Education, District administration, and school community wish him a happy and healthy retirement. Thank you, Jamie!
